At the crossroads of technology, creative industries and storytelling.
Noohkema Interactive Inc. is an African creative and technology group founded in 2016 that develops visual and interactive solutions for businesses while building its own intellectual property in video games and animation. From 3D to real-time technologies, from animation to video games, we combine creativity, engineering, and storytelling to visualize ideas, convey knowledge, create experiences, and build worlds for a global audience.
Over ten years of creativity and technology.
Noohkema’s story has been shaped by the convergence of several disciplines: 3D design, animation, video games, interactive technologies, and storytelling. Over the years, we have partnered with companies and institutions to address challenges in visual communication, visualization, animation, and digital experiences. This B2B business has played a fundamental role in our growth and has, in particular, enabled us to gradually fund our creative projects and our research and development for nearly a decade. At the same time, we have devoted several years to experimenting, prototyping, and developing our own worlds. This R&D phase has gradually given rise to a portfolio of original intellectual properties now at various stages of production, including Afro Warriors, Meenlah: Quest of the Stolen Spirits, Arthur & Ndiki: Time Travel, and Tema & Friends. Today, these two paths converge: the technologies and methods developed for our creative productions enrich our B2B offerings, while our work with businesses helps strengthen our production and innovation capabilities.
Today, a new phase: Consolidation and Growth
2016: The Beginning Noohkema Interactive was founded in Douala with the ambition of developing digital experiences and intellectual properties capable of bringing new African perspectives into the global creative industries. 2017-2020: Experimentation & Early Productions Noohkema expanded into interactive projects, 3D services, animation and early experimentation around original intellectual properties. During this period, the company progressively built its expertise at the intersection of art, storytelling and technology. Afro Warriors: An Early International Ambition The development of Afro Warriors became one of the studio's defining projects. The franchise explores African mythologies, characters and cultural imagination through competitive fighting games. The project also led Noohkema to collaborate with MTN during an early launch phase, while exploring the potential of an African gaming IP combining entertainment, community and competition. 2020-2022: R&D & Consolidation Noohkema intensified its research, prototyping and development efforts around several original universes while continuing to grow its B2B activities. This period laid much of the technological, creative and narrative foundation behind the company's current portfolio. 2022: Establishing a European Presence The creation of Joinplay Games Studios Oy in Finland expanded the group's presence into Europe and strengthened its connection to the international gaming ecosystem. Noohkema progressively evolved into a structure capable of connecting Africa and Europe, local production capabilities and international markets. 2023-2026: Building the Portfolio Several years were dedicated to maturing the group's technologies, prototypes, creative universes and production models. The portfolio expanded across games, animation and interactive experiences, while Noohkema's B2B activities evolved toward more ambitious applications in visualization, industry, real estate, mobility, training and brand communication. Today: A New Chapter Noohkema is entering a new phase of consolidation and growth: strengthening its B2B activities, industrializing its production methods, advancing its intellectual properties and building new financial, commercial, creative and technological partnerships.
